Title: Pied Piper  
     
Creatures: Musi, minor warlock

Allen O'Dale is an old time minstrel name for a medieval musician.
He played his pipe and caused all children to follow him out of town where they disappeared into a kind of vortex. Only one was left behind because it had a crippled foot.
Grown up this child was watching the piper ever since to stop him from taking other children. He put a spell on Piper so the children followed her instead. He needed a witch for the spell to work.
When the piper comes to a town, his music draws children to him. The piper needs their music, their inspiration and creative spark to survive. He steals it from them and feeds himself. His talent grows while those he robs die.

The piper is known nowadays as
Dale Allen.
He is immune to the powers of the Charmed Ones but was vanquished by Paige with a potion.

Mark, witch

Summary: At first Piper thinks it's just a coincidence that she's seeing kids everywhere; since she and Leo have been talking about starting a family, she thinks she's just noticing them more. But then the kids start showing up on the Charmed Ones' front porch and coming into the house uninvited. No matter where Piper dispatches them, they're right back at Halliwell Manor minutes later.
Piper starts to wonder if she and Leo can handle starting a family.
In the meantime Phoebe finds out about a rash of disappearances in San Francisco. Musicians have vanished all over the city, and they were all candidates to conduct a youth symphony. So how has Paige's new love managed to stick around long enough to be the symphony leader? Is there a connection with the children appearing in the Manor? All of them seem to be musically talented .. The Charmed Ones smell a rat, but can they lead all of their Innocents out of danger before the final note is played?

Summary: 3 out of 12  
  It would have been a great story but the book is a complete failure. Really boring and badly written.
You'd be better off listening to some music.
 
Your opinion: I have read this book and want to say that ..
